Barbara 3.4.0 is here. Configuration is more precise, batches are more transparent, alerts are more personal, and every config finally has a home. Let’s dive into the key highlights.
Barbara joined ICC 2026 in Sacramento to show how Ignition can run across hundreds of distributed edge devices, with high availability built in.
Most conversations about Agentic AI in industry start three levels too high: autonomous factories, agents talking to other agents. This is the small version that actually works, five building blocks that let an operator ask the plant a question and get a real answer.
Velasea will supply industrial PCs tested and prepared for Barbara, enabling companies to deploy applications and AI models across hundreds of industrial sites.
Everyone is chasing generative AI and autonomous agents, but the industrial AI that already delivers, predictive maintenance and computer vision, never left the factory floor. A field reality check on hype versus what actually works, and why the best engineering starts with the problem, not the technology.
At Automate 2026 in Chicago, our CTO Isidro Nistal and VP of Sales Javier Rodríguez joined Schneider Electric to show how open software-defined automation runs on an edge-native platform — and to connect with the automation community.
Most people in industrial automation still believe that hardware is inherently more reliable than software. But many of the assumptions behind that belief were formed decades ago, before connected operations, edge computing, and software-defined industrial systems became a reality. In this article, we challenge five of the most common myths about software in industrial environments.
Selected from a pool of 185 companies, Barbara joins a group of leading AI innovators recognised for their ability to transform operations, accelerate decision-making, and deliver measurable value to enterprises through scalable and integrated AI solutions.
